Red Hat Eagle

Age: 6
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 75

A dual 1m winner in 2024. Off 17 months and yet to show that form this season, going too freely in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield 19 days ago. Handily weighted if back on his A-game though.

Ex-French winner. Failed to fire for James Owen this season, last of 13 in handicap here (1¼m) in April. Needs another yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Won 5 times in 2025. Best of 5 runs this year in first-time cheekpieces when third of 12 in handicap at Newbury (1m) 17 days ago. Not out of things if building on it, although slow starts have become an issue.

Is enjoying a very good season and bagged a second win in 7-runner handicap here (7f) 21 days ago. Had a bit in hand so not taken lightly despite a 2 lb rise.

Influential (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 78

On the up since sent handicapping and he got off the mark in 12-runner event at Kempton (1m) 29 days ago. Up 3 lb but he should have more to offer, being a well-bred sort from a leading yard, so another bold showing is on the cards.

Timeform Verdict

Roger Varian has his string in fine form and his low-mileage 4-y-o INFLUENTIAL is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise for his Kempton success. Sea Suite rates a big threat on the back of a cosy victory here, while Knights Gold and Cancan In The Rain also need factoring in.

Betting Forecast

10/1 Cancan In The Rain (Ire), 11/1 Red Hat Eagle, 25/1 Hitched (Ire), 11/1 Kalamunda, 28/1 Shihoku (Fr), 7/1 Knights Gold (Ire), 12/1 Gorgeous Mr George (Ire), 4/1 Sea Suite (Ire), 11/4 Influential (Ire)
